If you think Kristen Stewart is protective of her private life, you ain’t seen Taylor Lautner. The most famous member of the New Moon wolf pack got his hackles up Friday afternoon at a press conference for the film (though he cooled out later in the vid above), when a reporter asked him about rumors that he’s dating Taylor Swift.

"What about us?” Lautner shot back. “The very funny thing is that all of you have seen every single move I have made so I guess I can leave that up to you to decide.”

Well, OK then. Just don’t bite anyone.

Attention all Robsten tongue-waggers: Gossip away! Kristen Stewart is over it! Totally and completely over it!

Much hay has been made in recent days about K.Stew's tumultuous relationship with the tabloids and her fierce words for gossips.

But at a press conference today in Los Angeles promoting The Twilight Saga: New Moon, Stewart indicated she'd finally found a way to cope.

"The whole rumor, tabloid stuff, it's so obviously false," she said, holding forth solo before a press mob, enthused and energetic and seemingly very happy about the whole thing.

"I became a part of a show, a ridiculous show, with false realism, like a soap opera, but it doesn't bother me. I don't take it personally, because I have gotten so much experience with this, it's gotten easier."

In fact, K.Stew now insists she gets it, how fans can get carried away, too.

"I totally understand that people have a hard time seeing us outside of our characters," she said, admitting she's very also very attached to hers, the lovestruck Bella Swan.

"I'm very protective of her. I feel a shared ownership, its weird," she said. "Maybe I am an immature girl as well; I really feel like if you think you need to do it, you need to do it, and 'it' can be anything. Be extreme. Go for it. I know this is a movie about immortality and mortality, but you only live once."

Edward Cullen? All kinds of melodramatic romantic. Robert Pattinson? Not so much, at least, according to Robert Pattinson.

"I really haven't done that many romantic things in my life...I mean, I've watched Titanic," he said today at a press conference promoting New Moon, the second part in, like, only the most important movie series like ever. Another shocking reveal: The actor-musician, who even had a song on the Twilight soundtrack, has never serenaded anyone.

"Oh no. You need to have so much balls to do that, Jesus Christ," he said. "I put a flower on someone's locker when I was 15."

What else did Pattz reveal? Oh, so much...

Did you hear? The world's gonna end—and soon! Also, we've discovered an alien planet with blue-skinned tribal badasses, and Sherlock Holmes is alive and well and looks like Iron Man. Oh, and vampires and werewolves totally don't wear shirts.

At least, that's according to the wannabe blockbusters blasting into theaters this season.

We've got the skinny on everything from Twilight sequel New Moon to James Cameron's 3-D space epic Avatar; from John Cusack's end-of-the-world problems in 2012 to Robert Downey Jr.'s sleuthin' bowler hat in Sherlock Holmes.

Earlier this week, we had Vanity Fair trying to make Robsten happen, and today Harper's Bazaar takes a shot at it.

The fashion mag definitely has the upper hand since they talked to both Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart and also managed to have them pose for some steamy gothic romantic photos.

As for the interview itself, writer Laura Brown talked to Rob and Kristen separately in their side-by-side Vancouver hotel rooms and neither star confirmed or denied a relationship. In fact, there's no mention of the mag even asking for clarification—just this speculation:

"At the moment, there is only one thing anyone cares about regarding these two... Are they dating or what? Well...it's clear that Rob and Kristen are close—very close."

And that's it. From there, the rest of the article plays out like the hookup is a sure thing, with questions like "Who is the most romantic then?"

Ecstatic screams and fluttering hearts translate the same in any language.

"Thank you all so much for coming," Robert Pattinson told a crowd of adoring fans in Tokyo, his latest stop on the whirlwind New Moon publicity tour.

"It's always really surprising, whenever we go anywhere in the world, there seems to be so many people everywhere who are just as passionate...It's always just amazing to find that out."

You'd think the British über-heartthrob would be used to it by now.

The largely female crowd started lining up hours ahead of time for Rob's appearance at Shinigawa Intercity Hall, where the ambiguously attached vampire portrayer took questions from the audience—which was instructed beforehand not to inquire about his personal life.

Yet the Edward-lovers found stuff to ask him, maybe about the movie or whatever. New Moon director Chris Weitz was also on hand for the Q&A session and to take pictures afterward, as was Japanese pop star Miliyah Kato, whose song "Destiny" has been heard in some of the film's trailers.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, Bella and Jacob held court...

New Moon stars Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart took off this weekend for the start of the film's worldwide press tour.

We're keeping tabs on the threesome as they travel the world, and here are some early highlights:

• Stewart and Lautner touched down in Brazil on Halloween. Local papers reported the pair waited more than an hour after landing to deplane in hopes the crowds would disperse. No such luck. In fact, barricades were set up around the pair's São Paulo hotel to control the mobs of fans.

• Today Stewart and Lautner arrived in Mexico City, answering fan questions at a local radio station. Sample question: "Have you ever fallen in love with your best friend?" Stewart's answer: "No."

• Meanwhile, way over in Japan this weekend, Pattinson was all smiles—and chewing gum—as he landed at Narita International Airport with New Moon director Chris Weitz. Wearing a New York Yankees hat, the star signed autographs, posed for pictures with waiting fans and looked a little dazed by all the attention and flash photography.

Kristen Stewart stopped in Brazil Sunday to promote New Moon (or Lua Nova). Sadly, there was no Robert Pattinson at her side, only Taylor Lautner, who actually managed to keep his shirt on.

Per usual, Kristen was doing her too-cool-for-school thing in a sequined skirt and trendy blazer. It's like business rock 'n' roll casual, perfect for the office or talking about why people in Brazil like vampires.

In fact, we didn't really have any complaints until we panned up to the hair. Oof. That Joan Jett cut is really taking a long time to grow out, and K.Stew doesn't even seem to bother styling it. We've all been there, growing out short hair is the worst, but maybe just try a little updo, Teen Choice Awards-style.

We will continue to monitor the hair situation as the New Moon tour continues on. Next stop: Mexico.

Vanity Fair

Vanity Fair likes to think of itself as a highbrow culture magazine with its fancy Annie Leibovitz covers, but if there's one thing no publication can afford to ignore, it's Twilight. So for the December issue, the mag went Tiger Beat meets J.Crew catalog with a stunning 12-page piece on Robert Pattinson (ahhhhhhhh!).

The photos are amazing. Look, Rob Pattz reads books! He can really wear a sweater! He eats his lobster like this! He gets so overwhelmed! He'll hang out in bed with you all day! And, of course, he writes epic ballads at his grand piano on the beach! Swoon.

As for the actual words written about our dear sparkle vampire, it's mostly about what an overwhelmed, self-conscious wreck Rob is right now. "I'm trying not to drown," he says. 

And then there's writer Evgenia Peretz's description of a bumbling teen idol: "He is often apologizing—for being boring, for the 'douchey' terrace that's attached to his hotel room, for telling you a story you might have read somewhere else already...he'll dismiss his work in any way he can."

But most Pattz fans are well aware of Rob's self-deprecating nature and that's when it's time to play up the maybe, maybe-not relationship with Kristen Stewart.
